LIVE - Lakers @ Rockets: Game 6 - 3rd Quarter

So... what's everyone up to this Sunday?

The first half tonight was a cavalcade of Laker FAIL.  Gaze on my bullet points, ye purple and gold fans, and weep:

  • The Lakers have an effective shooting percentage of 33%.  The Rockets' EFG is 58%.
  • Luis Scola has leased out space in the paint and put up 18 points and 9 rebounds.
  • Derek Fisher: 2 points on 1-for-5 shooting, 0 assists, 0 rebounds and 0 steals.
  • Against the miniscule Rockets' front line, Pau Gasol and Andrew Bynum have combined for 4 points on 2-for-9 shooting.
  • Kobe picked up his fifth tech of the playoffs on a particularly egregious referee error.  Seven techs = a one game suspension.
  • Ron Artest actually made a three.

Unlike halftime at Game Four, this one isn't completely out of hand, to the point where a comeback is unfathomable. Still, erasing a 16-point lead on the road requires work - odious, difficult work - and knowing that Game Seven awaits at comfy Staples Center, do the Lakers have the will even to show up in the second half?  Stay glued to this third-quarter thread to learn the answer.

Oh, and FREE JORDAN FARMAR.

They win when they get you into a halfcourt tempo and they play insanely intensely -- but if they have to run back and forth, their energy cells go bye bye...

100% sure? I think that percentage only applies if Yao were still in the game. It should drop down to 75% with him out.

Their whole team is built around half-court-grind tempo. The only guys that can run are their guards, and they are turnover machines when they play fast...

Question for you guys: How do you see this?

Are the Lakers turning it on and beating the Rockets? Or are the Rockets losing some of what they had going for them in the first half?

I’ve been wondering how this would go… do the Rockets have the depth and talent to be able to keep this up for all 4 quarters? Do the Lakers have to play perfect ball to make this comeback, or was it a bit inevitable for the Rockets to fall back to earth a bit, too?

You guys tell me.

Rockets came out flat and the Lakers came out fired up. A few misses and you have a run; you have a run and then they started pressing...

The turnaround reversed again when Kobe threw that horrible pass that ended with Landry scoring and and one on the other end.

Doesnt matter if Gasol is open because he wont shoot the damn ball. He keeps looking to pass

Whenever we got in striking distance Houston made the shots they had to make… Gasol needs to protect the paint

by intuitive on May 14, 2009 8:48 PM PDT reply actions   0 recs

we can only hope that Gasol protects the paint

Brookes shoot should be tosed somewhere but instead Pau back up and doesn’t put fear in any players going to the hoop, more stops and more free throws will get Lakers back in this game.

Still need to get those rebounds

giving up too many second chance opportunities

crunch time, this 4th quarter will show if lakers have what it take to win a championship

They do

Have faith! They won 65 games and swept the Celtics and Cavs. They sure as hell didn’t do that by accident.

by WaveOcean on May 14, 2009 8:51 PM PDT up reply actions   0 recs

Why isnt Gasol shooting over Hayes or Landry. He has AT LEAST 3 inches on them… He keeps looking to pass the ball. Thats not what we need from him

by intuitive on May 14, 2009 8:50 PM PDT reply actions   0 recs

if orlando can come back down 10 late in the game to win, surely this team can.

by kumquatsrus on May 14, 2009 8:51 PM PDT reply actions   0 recs

We cut 7 points off the 16 point lead

Definitely better execution all around.

12 min to go, and we’re down single digits, LET’S DO THIS
